The tour leader was very good, an artist that truly believed in the art of winemaking. The vineyards were average, tasted variety of wines but no accompaniments
I highly recommend Provence Wine Tours. My communication with the tour operators was professional and courteous, and we were able to design a tour that fit our visit. I appreciate the pre-tour coordination and used their service to book a reservation for our lovely in-tour lunch. Our guide, Stéphane, was a former winemaker and shared very insightful knowledge. I had no idea of the depth and breadth of the Provencal wine region, and am glad to have been enlightened during our wonderful day.

We got very lucky with only 4 of us on the tour. In total we tried 10 wines and visited 2 lovely vineyards. I do wish we had time to explore a bit of Cassis but I believe this is part of another tour. Our guide was fantastic and it was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience.

I was with my daughter and there were two other girls my daughter's age, which was wonderful and two other couples. The afternoon was wonderful and so memorable! Everything was so organized. Our guide, Stephane was great - full of information about the wine region, wine making, and wine production! The area is gorgeous and Stephane treated us to an amazing view of Cassis after our tastings! Stunning! I would definitely take another tour when I return. Loved the small group size as well!
